The Yaya Toure 'Munich' song

[twosips]

Not really - it was the more the timing of Yaya's chant if anything.

Munich had been on tele the night before (not the press' fault), and sadly the Yaya chants were VERY loud. Massively audible. Obviously with everyone a little sentimental from the night before then it was bound to reflect more badly. Hardly blame the press then for the outrage it caused. The munich chants were more noticeable than ever before and everyone was up in the air over it (not just the journalists)....just so happened the journalists then felt pressured to comment.

And I don't think that if the munich songs had happened they'd be slating us for anything. In fact, do you not remember the week post the semi-final when they were all saying we were great? We would have got praised for grinding out a result too over Blackburn.

Frustratingly though, 'City fans in Munich chant shame' is a better article and more interesting than 'City edge past Blackburn'.....just the way the world works. They were always gonna lead with that after the game, which is why we really shouldn't give them anything to write about.

Two Sips,
Throughout this debate, you have focussed on the morality of the City fans who sing use this term. Despite many posts linking the hypocrisy of the rags and the press and the immorality of that hypocrisy, you have continued to ignore that important part of the debate. Surely, as the defender of morals that you portray yourself to be, you would also have a view of the rags and media in this publicity game?

Do you believe that is is right for the media to publically castigate City fans for their apparent disrespect of the dead, whilst completely ignoring the worse disrespect shown to their own dead, over many years by the rags themselves?

Do you not think that it is morally wrong of the media to stay silent on this longer term disrespect by the rags for their own dead, by ensuring it has gone largely unreported?

Do you have any opinion as to why the media have chosen this time to voice this criticism of City fans, considering the length of time that City fans have used this term?

To avoid any confusion, this is not a criticism of your view, just a question regarding the balance of your argument. It does seem to be that, you, like the media are happy to express your disgust at City fans, whilst, by your silence, are content to accept the immorality of the rags and media.

As an aside when it comes to a name for "them" I can't stand "The Rags". It's meant to be disparaging but it doesn't bother them in the least....what do we get...Shitty, Citeh, Little City, Massives, Bitters.

Munichs suits them just fine for me

I'm quite irritated by this "Munich song" and "mocking the dead" shite now. It's nothing of the sort.

It's the fucking Daily Mail - it's no surprise. They sensationalise EVERYTHING. They would have done the same for any high profile team though, i'm sure.

You may well be sure they would Two Sips...but the fact is that they haven't ever in the past.
